Can Ripple’s RLUSD Become a Leader in the Stablecoin Landscape?

Can Ripple’s RLUSD Become a Leader in the Stablecoin Landscape?

In recent months, the crypto community, particularly XRP supporters, has been eagerly anticipating the launch of Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD.

Recent updates, including insights from CEO Brad Garlinghouse, suggest that the rollout could happen within weeks, although the stablecoin is still undergoing beta testing.

A significant milestone in this process was the burning of 24 RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and 64 RLUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, confirming that Ripple’s stablecoin will function on both networks simultaneously.

Ripple’s executives have also hinted at the potential for launching on additional networks in the future. However, details regarding the total supply and any limits on issuance remain unclear.

Ripple aims to capture a substantial share of the stablecoin market, projected to reach $2.8 trillion by 2028, especially considering the overall crypto market is currently valued at just over $2 trillion.

As the beta testing continues, it will be crucial for Ripple to perfect the minting and burning processes, as building user trust in the stablecoin market is vital—once lost, that trust can be incredibly difficult to restore.
